More quotes by Graham Greene
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Never presume yours is a better morality.
Graham Greene
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene
The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.
Graham Greene
